Debut carbon evo setup how to#
In the meantime I starting looking at YouTube videos to show me how to setup the Pro-Ject Evo and to amazement this turntable also did not have the capability of upgrading the cartridge, this was mainly due to not having VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle). However I would have to wait a few days for them to get one, not a problem. I am a newcomer to the world of high-end Turntables so I suggested I would like to go up the range by exchanging it to an Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO to which they agreed.
I informed them of my disappointment and they agreed to take it back for a full refund or an exchange for a turntable that as the capability of changing the cartridge. The service and technical information in regards to the project T1 turntable I received by Hi-Fi store in question was not accurate. I was very disappointed as I was sold the T1 as being upgradable, however this turned out not to be the case. I emailed the Technical Support team at Henley Audio, the UK distributor for Pro-Ject, and they confirmed due to the T1 having a fixed counterweight & no Vertical Tracking Angle they wouldn't recommend changing the entire cartridge but just upgrading to an improved stylus for the OM5E. This is when I found changing the cartridge over to one of my choice was not possible.
Debut carbon evo setup upgrade#
However I decided to upgrade the cartridge to maybe an Nagaoka MP110 ,Sumiko Rainier or a Ortofon 2M Red.
I also found the turntable to have a very light chassis to the extent when you opened the lid the whole turntable moved around, this despite having a 8mm blasted glass platter. Therefore I agreed to buy the T1, the cartridge fitted was the bottom of the range Ortofon OM5E, and after listening for some time I found it not to have much detail, the mid-range vocals seemed a little recessed/distant on some material, and the cartridge had a tendency to sound hard and brash. The sales assistance informed me this was not a problem and I would be able to change over the cartridge to one of my choice. The reviews for this turntable are very good but I wanted to know if the turntables cartridge could be upgraded to a better one at a later date. I recently purchased a Pro-Ject T1 turntable from a well know Hi-Fi store at a discount price due to the packaging being opened.
